QB/WR Braxton Miller (B1G POY, National Champion, OSU HOF)

[scarletngray]

With the right coaching and supporting cast this guy has Heisman written all over him. Maybe IF Urban Meyer becomes the next HC he will be the first guy to have two Sophmores win the Heisman...

Me likey that thought. Me likey alot!!!

:osu:

Braxton is on the verge of a monster performance! Let’s hope he has his coming out against those bastards up north!

How do you figure that?

Playing a position means very little as to how well you can teach others to play it.

Few announcers teach me less than Herbie.

He's pretty much the reason why we are bowl eligible.

In the last two games he has either passed or run for every TD the Buckeyes have had and even before that he had accounted for something like 5 of the 8 TDs against Wisky and Indiana.

To a certain extent, maybe. But would you take marriage advice from someone whose never been married? Or business advice from someone whose never had a real job?
To me, the pure fact that he has performed at D1 level is better than what we have now...

I agree, but a person who has played the position should be able to provide more insight on that particular position than someone who has never played the position sans any recess time in 5th grade.

Quite the non sequitur.

I'm not defending what Siciliano has or has not done; however, the consideration that a former QB with coaching history does not represent a whole lot of hope.

I feel ridiculous for even gratifying this statement, but you should be more aware of the history of the people you're discussing before making vacuous statements. Siciliano played QB in HS. He then played at Marietta College for a year before transferring to Youngstown State. It was at this point in time that he gave up the athletic pursuits, and started working his way on to Tressel's staff.

To both of you, I posit the following question to you: how did Michael Jordan perform as a coach?

Yeah it's a good fucking thing that Tony LaRussa was an all-time 2nd baseman when he played because it CLEARLY meant he was going to be successful as a manager

You obviously do not get my sense of humor. Hard to gauge on an internet forum.

I am fully aware that just because you played a position does not qualify to teach that position. Ones ability to teach the position plays a much greater role in coaching a particular position.

how did Michael Jordan perform as a coach?

Which coaching position are we specifically talking about? I heard he had an undefeated T-ball team his son played on during the NBA off season. I need more specifics.

Yup, I missed it.

If you're a good catholic and went to college and majored in business, there is a good chance that the answer to one of those is yes.

What!? You mean you already knew that whoever wins the turnover battle and the battle in the trenches will likely win the game??

Also, I need his help to learn when the momentum in the game changes and which quarterbacks have "poise" and "moxie." Also when the crowd gets loud.

Don't forget SPEED! and CoNfUsIoN!.

I just love watching Braxton play. It's fun to see his athletic ability and crafty moves out there. Once he develops a respectable pocket presence, he's going to be very dangerous. I honestly believe that he's a home run threat every time he runs the ball. He's a beast and a legend in the making.

To add to that, it's been nice to see him show some emotion out there the past couple of weeks. Early in the season, he truly looked out of place. He isn't taking shit from anyone now. Brax on Brax on Brax.
